Burnout Coach | Systems Stratgist | Notion Nerd | Enneagram 3 |

Big goals shouldn’t leave you feeling like a sh*t show. Big goals shouldn’t leave you drowning in chaos. I help high-achievers—entrepreneurs, leaders, and teams—build burnout-proof success with smarter systems, automation, and sustainable strategies.

From science nerd to burnout coach to systems strategist,
my story proves that burnout doesn’t have to be the price of success.

I Thought I Was Going to Be Dr. Ellyn…

Now I’m Ellyn, the Burnout Coach.

Burnout has hit me at every stage of my life:
✅ In grad school, while chasing my PhD
✅ When I left academia to start my business
✅ And every time I leveled up as an entrepreneur (#newlevelnewdevil - am I right?)

Each time, I learned the hard way that “just delegate” and “find balance” are absolute bullshit.

High-achievers don’t need balance—they need sustainability.

Success Is Supposed to Fuel You—Not F*ck You Up.

You know. You’ve been burned out before.
You know what it’s like to hit that wall.
You know that burnout doesn’t happen over night.
You know how it creeps back in when you’re scaling, pushing harder, or chasing that next level…

And you don’t want to go back there.
But without systems, automations, and strategies that actually support you…
you probably will (#realtalk)!

The truth?

High-achievers don’t need to slow down.
They need
smarter systems, streamlined workflows, and automations that sustain their ambition and take tasks off their plate—so they can scale without spiralling that to keep burnout at bay FOR GOOD!

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT WHEN YOU WORK WITH ME

01 | I Don’t Talk Productivity. I Do Systems.

Most burnout coaches talk about self-care, time management, and delegation—then send you to someone else for the actual systems work. Not me. I do it with you. Because if your business isn’t built for sustainability, no mindset shift will save you.

02 | No Fluff. Just Sustainable Systems.

Marketers build systems for marketing. Sales pros build them for sales. I build systems for burnout prevention. That means every system we create—whether it’s a Notion HQ, automation workflow, or full business backend—is designed to give you time, energy, and longevity.

03 | It’s Not About Doing Less. It’s About Doing What Works.

Burnout-proof success isn’t about slowing down—it’s about building a business that can keep up with you. That means removing inefficiencies, automating busywork, and designing workflows that actually work for you—so you can scale without burning out.

👉 Your business should feel as good as it looks. Let’s build the systems to make that happen.

What is a Sunday CEO?

This journey taught me something huge: you don’t have to choose between big goals and having a damn life! A Sunday CEO is a high-achieving, purpose-driven leader who owns their ambition without letting it own them—because their business is built on systems that sustain them.

Sunday CEOs are done with hustle culture that’s all grind and no gain. They don’t just “work smarter”—they build smarter. Their systems work for them, not the other way around.

They’ve replaced burnout with boundaries, outdated routines with seamless automations, and exhaustion with real enjoyment. Their workflows, tech, and strategy keep their business running smoothly—without running them into the ground.

👉 This is the life I’m here to help you create.
